Caution- this video may result in rage, and desire to revolt. Also, this is the kind of shit Clinton's campaign is going to be pulling at the Philly convention.

(51,122 posts)Bernie will endorse her before the convention. He will give a speech at the convention. Hillary will be nominee.
Period.

(651 posts)if you think the anger in the country and the party is going away. She may be the nominee, but she's a horrible nominee, a weak candidate, and you all will be in full on panic mode in a few months. If anything goes wrong, if there is a big scandal the Republicans are sitting on (likely), the FBI investigation, if the Republicans nominate someone other than Trump (she is even in trouble with Trump now, the most unpopular nominee in polling history), she's toast.
Period. I also don't care if Bernie endorses her, he'll be endorsing someone that stands for everything he campaigned against, and everyone knows it (him included). His endorsement won't change objective reality.

(10,565 posts)I'd rather go with the strongest candidate which according to your logic is Hillary

(651 posts)She polls worse than he does (Sanders, the most progressive candidate in the race, polls much better with the general public than your corrupt candidate, and has for months. This says a lot about the Democratic Party), is not trusted and is not liked at all. She is not the strongest candidate.
Your logic, and it is simplistic as hell, would basically mean that any politicians that get more votes in a primary is necessarily better in the general election. Surely you can see the obvious problem with that logic, I hope. Independents were largely shut out of the primaries, and they're a larger share of the public than the Democrats, he does much better with them. He also does better with young Republicans, by a mile. She isn't stronger because she has more votes in a primary. She's a weak candidate, a horrible nominee, and is now tied versus the most unpopular major party nominee in polling history.

(50 posts)Bernie is +5 in Georgia over Drumpf.
Clinton is -4 in Georgia under Drumpf.
Who is the more logical and best candidate overall. If I wanted cheap, Id go Republican, but I happen to want quality.
Clinton isn't an quality candidate.

(4,407 posts)Fuck the people. Their votes don't count, and the DNC will do a lot of stuff to make sure that stays the case. You can berate people on this board that "the rules say you have to vote for democrats" and it won't make a bit of difference in the larger world. It won't make any difference here - people will either leave or not say who they're voting for.
